Poker After Dark Host Leann Tweeden Accuses Al Franken of Sexual Assault

update- McConnell calls for ethics review of Al Franken.

Poker After Dark doesn’t mean “poke her after dark” Al.

Here’s Leann’s statement-

As a TV host and sports broadcaster, as well as a model familiar to the audience from the covers of FHM, Maxim and Playboy, I was only expecting to emcee and introduce the acts, but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along.

When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a ‘kiss’. I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd.

On the day of the show Franken and I were alone backstage going over our lines one last time. He said to me, “We need to rehearse the kiss.” I laughed and ignored him. Then he said it again. I said something like, ‘Relax Al, this isn’t SNL…we don’t need to rehearse the kiss.’

He continued to insist, and I was beginning to get uncomfortable.

He repeated that actors really need to rehearse everything and that we must practice the kiss. I said ‘OK’ so he would stop badgering me. We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth.

I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn’t be so nice about it the next time.

I walked away. All I could think about was getting to a bathroom as fast as possible to rinse the taste of him out of my mouth.

I felt disgusted and violated.

!snip!

It gets worse, folks.

That’s Leann, asleep.

Franken thinks this is funny.

  1. Saw the photo on Fox Business a short time ago–I LOVE THIS SOOOOO MUCH!! Now just heard reprobate Franken apologize! He thought it would be funny!! If there is visual PROOF of a sordid Communist-Dem, OH,WELL! If there are faulty memories and fabrications against a Conservative-Republican? HANG ’em HIGH!

  2. Remember those “funny” pedophile jokes Franken made at the Rob Reiner roast accusing Reiner of not only anally raping his own infant son, but also allowing a slew of Hollywood homos (whom Franken named) of raping the child as well. Not a word from Congress or Hollywood.

    Ugh. Beyond disgusting.

  3. I sure hope Trump tweets this, drawing attention to it.

    What are the dummycrats going to do now? If they give Franken a pass how do they double down on Moore? They are fucked.

  4. Leann Tweeden, what a great, and incredible time to bring this story out. I hope she stays safe, she just made more enemies than she ever imagined. She also made more friends than she ever imagined.

  5. Oh, I get it! She was asleep! THAT’S why it’s funny!

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    /sarc off

    Seriously, this mother-fucker is very lucky her husband didn’t kick his ass. If he’d done that to *my* wife, he’d be shitting out his teeth.
